I should have done my research before getting into this audiobook. I'm just really uncomfortable about a lot of things after having finished this. I feel like there are some folks from whose perspectives white people, me included, just shouldn't write (regardless of the period it was originally written), and a white woman writing about the spiritual practices of an Osage/Cherokee woman while being trained as a shaman by her shaman grandfather and fighting racism against native Americans is one of those. I also found it really weird how sexual her grandfather (by blood!) was with her. The domestic abuse caused by an evil ancient Indigenous spirit taking over the villain was also troubling. This book hasn't aged well at all...
